7502cb3adb Clean up and simplify tmux command argument parsing.
Originally, tmux commands were parsed in the client process into a
struct with the command data which was then serialised and sent to the
server to be executed. The parsing was later moved into the server (an
argv was sent from the client), but the parse step and intermediate
struct was kept.

This change removes that struct and the separate parse step. Argument
parsing and printing is now common to all commands (in arguments.c) with
each command left with just an optional check function (to validate the
arguments at parse time), the exec function and a function to set up any
key bindings (renamed from the old init function).

This is overall more simple and consistent.

There should be no changes to any commands behaviour or syntax although
as this touches every command please watch for any unexpected changes.

c87187f913 When changing so that the client passes its stdout and stderr as well as
stdin up to the server, I forgot one essential point - the tmux server
could now be both the producer and consumer. This happens when tmux is
run inside tmux, as well as when piping tmux commands together.

So, using stdio(3) was a bad idea - if sufficient data was written, this
could block in write(2). When that happened and the server was both
producer and consumer, it deadlocks.

Change to use libevent bufferevents for the client stdin, stdout and
stderr instead. This is trivial enough for output but requires a
callback mechanism to trigger when stdin is finished.

This relies on the underlying polling mechanism for libevent to work
with whatever devices to which the user could redirect stdin, stdout or
stderr, hence the change to use poll(2) over kqueue(2) for tmux.

b9c873cdaa Return the command client return code with MSG_EXIT now that MSG_ERROR and
MSG_PRINT are unused.

New clients should be compatible with old tmux servers but vice versa may print
an error.

76ef8770cd Get rid of the ugly CMD_CHFLAG macro and use a const string (eg "dDU") in the
command entry structs and a couple of functions to check/set the flags.

2f813ef75d Add a flag for jobs that shouldn't be freed after they've died and use it for
status jobs, then only kill those jobs when status-left, status-right or
set-titles-string is changed.

Fixes problems with changing options from inside #().

34a82e7629 Make all messages sent between the client and server fixed size.
This is the first of two changes to make the protocol more resilient and less
sensitive to other changes in the code, particularly with commands. The client
now packs argv into a buffer and sends it to the server for parsing, rather
than doing it itself and sending the parsed command data.

As a side-effect this also removes a lot of now-unused command marshalling
code.

Mixing a server without this change and a client with or vice versa will cause
tmux to hang or crash, please ensure that tmux is entirely killed before
upgrading.

5f108d9df6 Having fixed flags for single-character getopt options is a bit hard to
maintain and is only going to get worse as more are used. So instead, add a new
uint64_t member to cmd_entry which is a bitmask of upper and lowercase options
accepted by the command.

This means new single character options can be used without the need to add it
explicitly to the list.

81181bfb72 New command, if-shell (alias if). Executes the tmux command in the second
argument if the shell command in the first succeeds, for example:

       if "[ -e ~/.tmux.conf.alt ]" "source .tmux.conf.alt"

Written by Tiago Cunha, many thanks.
